Andy Wirth came in as a new addition that would make it easier for the company to advance and operate more seamlessly.

His presence ushered in new ideas and the management style was overhauled to make the ski resort a modern place that would attract customers from all corners of the world. His first duty was to ensure the resort underwent complete transformation, so he prepared a budget of $70, which was all used in upgrading different areas to make the resort better or even at par with competitors.

In February 2016 Philip Diehl, the current President of U.S. Money Reserve, sat down for an interview with Eric Dye, the host of Entrepreneurial Podcast Network’s Enterprise Radio. The interview was just one of many media appearances Diehl will be doing throughout the year. During the interview Diehl touched on a variety of different topics including his background in leadership and the future of the gold market.

According to a press release posted on prnewswire.com, Diehl is one of the most accomplished Directors of the U.S. Mint. While serving as Director of the U.S. Mint Diehl was responsible for the Quarter Program in all 50 states as well as the minting of the platinum coin. The first ever issued by the U.S. Government.

During the interview Diehl recalled the transformation the U.S. Mint went through under his leadership. He was quoted as saying, “We turned what was a pretty backwards agency and turned it into a real entrepreneurial agency.”

One of the things that helped him turn the U.S. Mint around was the commitment he made to improving customer service. Over the course of his tenure the U.S. Mint eventually reached a point where customer satisfaction was at an all time high.

His experience as Director of the U.S. Mint served him very well when it was time for him to take on a new challenge. Since taking over as President of US Money Reserve, Diehl has used the same principles he used at the U.S. Mint to quickly turn the company into one of the largest distributors of government-issued precious metals in the United States.

In 2016 US Money Reserve started offering a self-directed precious metals IRA program to all of its customers. This program would allow clients to hold physical gold in their portfolios as a way to protect their wealth as they head into retirement.

When looking for precious metals, always choose U.S. minted gold, silver, and platinum coins. U.S. minted gold coins are backed by the government and considered legal tender. This basically means its gold content, weight and purity are guaranteed. Being that the gold market is very volatile, you can expect the price of gold to increase.

Earlier this month, Sanjay Shah interviewed with Eric Dye on Entrepreneurial Podcast Network’s Enterprise Radio. They addressed Solo Capital, Shah’s trading and consulting business, as well as his road to becoming a successful business owner, and of course, his works through Autism Rocks.

Shah guided listeners through ups and downs of business ownership. Although he makes it look easy, Shah advises, “I think this applies to anyone who is thinking of starting a new business. I would say that the most important thing is don’t underestimate the amount of money you need to start,” said Shah. “The other thing is don’t assume that you can actually do all of the work yourself.”

Sanjay Shah, a household name in the UK, is largely known for his 2014 creation of Autism Rocks, a charity committed to funding autism research. Autism Rocks combines Shah’s love of family and music to raise funds and therefore, open doors to a more in depth understanding of autism and how it works. This April 1, the 2016 Autism Rocks fest was an awesome kick start to International Autism Awareness Month. The annual Autism Rocks Fest was jam packed with activities for the whole family, and performances by artists including Flo Rida and Tyga. Sanjay Shah advised listeners to visit the charity’s website (www.autism.rocks) for more information.

Before Autism Rocks, was Shah’s first success, Solo Capital. During the 2009 financial crisis, Sanjay found himself staring down the barrel of unemployment, and decided to start his own brokerage company. Thus, the 2011 incorporation of Solo Capital. In its first year, Shah earned over $27 million, and the money just kept coming. Recently, in 2014, he took over Old Park Lane Capital, an invitation only stock brokerage company, focusing on natural resources. As of the beginning of 2016, Shah has a net worth of over $280 million.

George Soros was born in 1930 in Budapest, Hungary. During his childhood, his family hid their Jewish identity from the Nazi occupiers. During his teenage years, the Nazis lost the war and left and the communists came in. Soros escaped the oppression when he was 17. He fled to London and got jobs as a railway port and waiter in order to work his way through the London School of Economics.

After graduating, George Soros immigrated to the United States and worked for a number of investment firms in New York. In the 1970s, Soros made the decision to start Soros Fund Management. He created unprecedented returns for his clients and himself. It was in the 1980s that he stepped back from the day to day activities to pursue philanthropic work. However, over the years he has made big moves in the investment world. One of his most famous financial moves was when he shorted the British Pound and broke the Bank of England in 1992. He made several billion dollars off of that deal alone.

Soros’ philanthropic work is closely tied to the non profit he founded, the Open Society Foundations. The charity was inspired by Soro’s childhood of being oppressed by authority. His goal is to create more transparent government, more human rights for every individual and more open societies. He has recently been very involved in the refugee crisis in Europe. His biggest concern is that the E.U. will fall because each country will only be concerned about self-interest.

The Street published an article that discussed the Soros Fund’s recent decision to drop all of their shares in Chevron, NRG Energy and Chesapeake Energy. Whether or not this was a good idea will be answered later in the week when many of the major energy companies release their earnings reports. Many are expected to report very poor numbers. The Baker-Hughes Rig Count will also be released Friday and is expected to show the rig count continuing to plummet for a tenth week in a row. In addition, the World Bank lowered its forecasted 51 dollars for a barrel in 2016 to 37 dollars for a barrel.

The article goes on to explain how Soros is well known for selling currencies short and knowing when to leave a stock to get the most profit. Because of his uncanny ability to read the future of stocks, Soros now has a net worth of nearly 25 billion dollars. The numbers that will be released later this week will let investors know whether to stick with this troubled industry or follow Soros’ lead and look for alternative sectors that are gaining momentum.
